Try making this dish with vegetable broth for a sensational vegetarian meal.

Ingredients:
1 Natural Preserved Lemon - Organic 
1 butternut squash (about 1-1/2 pound), peeled and seeded and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup uncooked Oatmeal of Alford
5 to 6 cups simmering More Than Gourmet broth (chicken or vegetable)
1 Ceylon Cinnamon Stick
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 teaspoon Ground Saigon Cinnamon

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees.

2. Spread squash in baking pan and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Roast the squash for 15 minutes, or until tender.

3. Cut preserved lemon in half, remove seeds, and finely chop pulp and peel.

4. Bring broth to a boil, add cinnamon stick. Reduce heat and keep broth at a steady simmer.

5. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in skillet over medium heat, add chopped onions and cook until translucent. Add Oatmeal of Alford, stir to coat with oil and toast a bit, 2 to 3 minutes.

6. Add ½ cup simmering broth, stirring constantly, until broth is absorbed by the oats. Continue to add broth in ½ cup increments, allowing oats to absorb broth with each addition before adding more. The oat “risotto” is finished when the oats are tender but not mushy – approximately 30 minutes total cooking time.

7. Stir in cooked squash, preserved lemon, nuts, raisins, cinnamon and salt to taste. Toss to mix well and serve.
